Health Minister Stephen Donnelly signed the Health Amendment Act into Irish law earlier this month
Changes made to the Health Act earlier this month mean that from today, a number of charges have been dropped for those who attend A&E.
Hospital charges for children under 16 were dropped last September, but up until today public patients without a medical card were subject to public in-patient daily charges of €80, up to a maximum of €800 a year.
